DC Kits are an absolute joke. Orders charged but not processed, VAT not refunded, random substitute products sent, absolutely awful communication, or none at all, still waiting for my last refund and have just given up. Plus, Charlie is as rude, ignorant and impolite as can be. Again, I have given up, I don't give a shit about what he owes me, the time that I have lost is worth more than the money. Old Blarney, if you love him, good for you, but don't be blabbering on here ragging anybody who he has treated like crap. Like murphaph, my main regret is not posting sooner to warn other members. I wouldn't normally post public criticism, specially for a one mand band, but this band is so far out if tune that it's not funny. It's obvious that his earnings come from another source, as he doesn't give a damn about his retail customers. Again, for me, I've written off what he owes me, I'm not wasting any more time.

When did 007 get the IR logos and the "S" suffix? https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/locomotives/products/007-a-class-locomotive

Just to update the mods, I received an email earlier, just the one, telling me that somebody had "reacted" to a post of mine. I've never received an email like that before. I'm still not receiving email notificationsof private messages or new posts on threads that I follow.

Rivet counting isn't a bad thing, as it will ultimately drive up standards for future models. Eventually, you'll hit diminishing marginal returns, where it's not feasable to invest beyond a certain point to reach a certain level of detail, and that's when the bespoke modellers take over. However, when a poster says the following with nothing to back it up, you have to question the post and ask for more info. I haven't yet seen anything to support the statement that the model doesn't capture the character of the prototype. If we were talking about the Lima 201's, then fine, the bogies and undercarriages are very wierd on them, but the next generation MM201's were not a poor model at all.

It's IRM's fault for bringing out so much magnificent rolling stock. In theory, they OWE us more 071's!

New Tara Mines Run In Stock - Pre-orders Being Dispatched
DJ Dangerous replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
Wow, received some blue Tara's in the post today! Outstanding wagons, they really look excellent. The Ferts and the original G2 Tara's stoodout as excellent wagons, but these take it to a higher level. Well done lads! -
A bit late, but Merry Christmas to everybody on the forum, even the assholes.
-
I'm a bit late, but thank you IRM, and the IRM forum members, for a wonderful year of joy! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all. P.S.: 27 degrees due on December 31st, so you know where you should be!
-
Excellent information, but I would hardly consider any of those niggles as "obvious", and I cannot see how they leave a model which fails to capture the character of the prototype. The MM 201 was and is an awesome model.

If you need somebody to store the layout for you, I'm happy to volunteer!

It'll presumably bring a B&I ferry, KC and KD Dublin Buses, IRM 071's, 141's and Mk4 rakes! Oh, and obviously 47' Flats.

Well, the grey 071 re-sprays finally arrived today! The pandemic has slowed Chris Dyer down, and his painter, Tony, seems to be flat out. Well worth the wait, really impressed with these three!

I'd say there'll be a few happy modellers who missed out on the last batch!

I have set filters up for both irishrailwaymodeller.com and irishrailwaymodels.com, making sure that mails from those domains never get sent to SPAM. However, it's not that the email notifications are going to SPAM, they're just not arriving at all.

I just ship British eBay stuff to a friend in the UK. He brings a suitcase down here every now and then, which I pay for, and that works out way cheaper. eBay's GSP often quotes more for shipping than the item itself costs, so it's just not worth it.

Hi Guys. Just wondering if the site is having issues with email notifications at the moment? I'm not receiving email notifications of private messages or thread updates the past couple of days. I've checked my notification settings here on the forum and they are definitely correct. I've also checked my SPAM folder, and the odd email does end up in there alright, but nothing at all the past few days. Thaks!

The video won't play properly for me. Audio only, just a white screen for the video. Happens from time to time - somebody mentioned before that Apple or QuickTime uploads are problematic? Upload the video to YouTube and then share the link here and more people will be able to see what the problem with the couplers is.

Wanted: IRM Tara Mines Wagons Sets A to E
DJ Dangerous replied to LMSNCC's topic in For Sale or Wanted
Yeah, as @murphaph says, I think that @LMSNCC means that they'd have to buy more than one set of each, F, G or H, to create a prototypical-length rake. Renumbering, or weathering via somebody like @Dempsey and obscuring some of the digits would also work. -
That's the beauty of the debate on the free market vs. price gouging... It's easy to see both sides of the debate. A3R was a very limited run, for a good cause. Many folk lost out as they sold out so fast. If you'd lost out to another enthusiast, you woudn't mind so much, as it's still gone to a good home, and the money went to a good cause, but if you lost out because somebody bought it solely to sell for double the price a month later, you'd feel hard done by. At the same time, I bought a few A3R's, three of which will be gifts next year. Looking at those prices, I feel sick NOT auctioning them off to fund the charity. I could pay for a lot of operations with an extra €400, or probably two or three weeks worth of food and medicines. Two sides of the same coin. Somebody will always feel aggrieved at losing out, somebody will always be looking to make a profit no matter the cost.

Any chance of hearing the two chips in a single video to compare?
